I just lately sat down with famend forehead skilled Sania Vucetaj to talk about all issues forehead care, and one particular tip she gave labored instantly: Cease making use of skincare in your brows. Whereas I’ve by no means been one to slather my evening cream on my eyebrows straight, I’ve been the other of aware till now. 

Her reasoning? The entire thick lotions and oils you utilize on the pores and skin can simply overwhelm the fragile hairs that make up you brows. It is not that the oils and butters themselves hurt these hairs, however think about making use of your serums and evening lotions to the hair in your head—it wouldn’t precisely look voluminous afterward, wouldn’t it? Chances are high you’d want extra stylers to amp up your ‘do; within the case of forehead care, meaning slicking up the limp hairs with a sticky (usually not-too hydrating) gel.

So I put this concept to the check. I did my greatest to keep away from the brows when utilizing my skincare merchandise and gently dabbed a moist rag on them afterward to verify they have been as clear as will be. 

As soon as I began doing this trick, I seen I didn’t even want forehead gel to maintain these hairs standing up straight–aka, one much less step in my each day make-up routine. What’s extra, my brows felt gentle and touchable, reasonably than crunchy and stiff. 

Vucetaj even says my probabilities of rising again sparse patches have develop into even higher, because of this straightforward change. So the subsequent time you head to the toilet to your each day skincare routine, bear in mind to be strategic with the place you place it and all the time skip the brows—other than a correct forehead progress serum, after all.
